NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
HIV-1, the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), contains an RNA genome that produces a chromosomally integrated DNA during the replicative cycle. Activation of HIV-1 gene expression by the transactivator Tat is dependent on an RNA regulatory element (TAR) located downstream of the transcription initiation site. The protein encoded by this gene binds between the bulge and the loop of the HIV-1 TAR RNA regulatory element and activates HIV-1 gene expression in synergy with the viral Tat protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. This gene also has a pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
TRBP: the HIV-1 TAR RNA binding protein (TRBP) is a double strand RNA binding protein (dsRBP) that is required for the recruitment of Ago2 to the small interfering RNA (siRNA) bound by Dicer. TRBP increases HIV-1 expression and replication by inhibiting the interferon-induced protein kinase PKR and by increasing translation of viral mRNA. Dicer, Ago2, and TRBP are the main components of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).

Product Notes
The TRBP tarbp2 (Catalog #AAA668164) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The TRBP Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's TRBP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot: 6-7 µg/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TRBP tarbp2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TRBP, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
